A court order from Justice Amina Aliyu in Kano prohibits the police, the State Security Service (SSS), and the Nigerian military from removing the reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The lawsuit was submitted by the emir in collaboration with the four traditional leaders of Kano: Madakin Kano Yusuf Nabahani, Makaman Kano Ibrahim Sarki Abdullahi, Sarkin Bai Mansur Adnan, and Sarkin Dawaki Maituta Bello Tuta.
Justice Aliyu, upon issuing the order, also directed the security agencies to refrain from apprehending or disturbing the emir and his council of advisors.
